TV and Y O U

How often do you watch television? Simple question, simple answer.

As for myself, I hardly watch tv unless I'm accompanied by my big bear (husband). If not for him, I'd only watch the news/history channel and discovery channel. Also documentaries and anime of course. I only watch these on occasion, basically when he isn't there; no tv. When he gets home, tv it is.

In my opinion the shows that are aired, are mostly stupid and pointless. I see mostly reality tv shows taking over...a lot of hillbilly reality series Seem to be the fad this year.

Re: TV and Y O U

I seldomly watch televesion these days outside of when I'm exercising but it's usually On Demand watching shows like Bob's Burgers, American Dad, Family Guy, Cleveland Show, and sometimes The Simpsons when I've run out of other programs, I also watch it on Netflix, but rarely, there's nothing good on Netflix these days. Oh yeah, sometimes, on a lazy day, I will watch Cartoon Network which usually includes The Magical World of Gumball, Adventure Time, and Regular Show (I miss the new Looney Toons I saw this Thanksgiving Break though...).

Re: TV and Y O U

Our TV is also full of alot of reality shows, and the regular tv shows have too long commercials that I rather just download. Altho I dont really have a tv atm and watch all my shows on my computer when I did have my tv i used to watch documentaries on it because those are harder to find online and the channel that airs them are commercial free xD And yeah ofc some news but now without tv it was a long time ago I even watched the news ^^ Honestly I dont need em, i think...

Is that Luka on your avatar?

I love Bob's burger (I catch it on Hulu) and with the other shows listed they have seemed to have lost their touch. I hardly use my Netflix since I've watched what I wanted to watch. They hardly have decent updates on good documentaries and such. My account is basically being used by other family members.

I honestly can't watch Cartoon Network, it's just not how it use to be way back. Only thing I have watched a couple times is Adventure Time. The new looney toons I have not watched at all .

Also it IS Luka, lol sorry. Had to edit, I thought I wrote that. But I said no.

That is true, you don't really need it at all. But it's a morning routine habit when you wake up for work or class. I usually use the tablet to watch Hulu or just stream on he computer.

Speaking of movies, I haven't even gone to the movie Theatres in months. I hardly go watch movies, sometimes I catch them in redbox or on demand.

A few game shows that most non-Brits have herd of. The ones I love are Pointless (Imagine Family Feud but you have to go for the least popular answers) and The Chase (Where 4 people go head-to-head against a quiz champion)

Re: TV and Y O U

I have cable TV (virgin media) but I rarely use it, and to be honest it's because there's never anything on TV worth watching anyway. Over this end of the pond TV has degenerated into a few hours of Teletubbies in the morning, then bargain hunt and bargain madness and attic raiders/whatever until evening, then some dumb quiz show, then soaps, and then late-night re-runs of stuff nobody likes.

Rinse, repeat.

I do watch 'programmes' though, but mostly things that I stream via UK iPlayers (BBC iPlayer, 4oD, etc) and tends to just be old animated movies. I was recently watching Kids Next Door, though. I finally managed to get to see the whole series... a lot of episodes.

I haven't watched anime in forever. I need to catch back up on One Piece and junk, but eh.

Re: TV and Y O U

My TV is on all the time. Its not so much that I watch it. I just have it turned on. The channels Ill tune into are Audience Network on Directv to watch the sports shows they air (Dan Patrick Show and Artie Lang Show) then Comedy Central Ill "watch" the daily show or Colbert report (I use my tv for a radio and light more than to watch it). And when it gets later Ill turn to Adult Swim and watch the garb they air even though sometimes i like what is on.

The only TV I watch is live sports. Otherwise Im on my computer and using my TV as a radio/lamp

Re: TV and Y O U

I don't really watch TV. If some one elese turns it, on and I hear something that catches my interest, I might look up for a minuet to decide if I even care. Alas, ussualy my hopes for decent American televisoin shows are dashed and I go back to what ever I was reading.

Re: TV and Y O U

I like watching science channel when they talk about the universe and the stephen hawking stuff but like I said in the post above 90% of the time my head is not aimed to my tv. Im looking into the other big light bulb aka my computer
